Catch and release is illegal here in California. Using ammonia soaked rags, bright lights, and noise to harass them away.

They are cute, until your dog tangles with one!

Yes, dogs sometimes know no better than their owners. Smile

Geez I had a family of skunks nest under my front porch. The stupid things stink even when they are not spraying. Twice my Labradors got sprayed. That was a mess. Even bathed in special skunk rid shampoo they stunk for weeks.

Catch and release is illegal in Virginia too. Rabies problem and they don't want it spread.

Yeah, the trick is not to touch them (they got claws!) and to not get sprayed by them. As long as they can't lift their rear, all is well. Smile

The thing about an arrow is there is no shock valve (Unless you are shooting small game or birds with blunt tipped arrows). They dispatch by cutting vital organs/arteries causing massive blood loss. An arrow thru a skunk, no matter how well placed, will not stop it from spraying. DAMHIK

I tend to use a good pair of leather work gloves for skunks down to chippies. Two thirds of squirrels are absolute animals and impossible to deal with. Even a city rat got away from me once, but I ultimately won several months later. My biggest problem with skunks is their digging. If one of their pups (or stupid teenagers Dodgy ) gets trapped in your yard, the mother will do whatever it takes to get it out. From what I could determine, the teenager didn't follow mom. What's new?

Rabbits are good exercise, except when it is too humid out - then it gets tough. I have cornered a few and they just "give up". Incredible sight to witness. I just let the thumpers go by and resume the chase. Smile
